Ulmers has always been the best repair shop I’ve experienced. They are honest, skilled, knowledgeable and reliable.I had a fuel system leak and the truck was unsafe to drive. I left it with them, the procured parts as soon as possible and kept me apprised of the timing of the repair. Price was lower than proposed as some parts didn’t replacement.I could not recommend Ulmers more highly.

I have been using Ulmer’s Auto Care for many years. I know that I can trust them to get the job done and not sell me things I don’t need. They are all so friendly, make you feel welcome when you walk in the door. And they explain everything to my satisfaction. They also offered me a loaner car at no charge. That was huge.

I must admit, I have always been a dealer guy, I have had a great relationship with our dealer for 26 years . My son’s car is a different make than our other cars, and is older. I no longer will patronize Toyota, so I took the car to Ulmer’s, well it was a great decision. Shout out to Wesley, great customer service, very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things. They were able to take care of my son’s car in a very timely manner at a fair price. I will be taking it there for everything in the future.Just an update, we will continue to take our 3 older Honda’s to Ulmers, always fair and not high pressure. Now that my son and his wife live close, they also will be using Ulmers. Its a very good feeling in today’s world to have great people take care of you.

Took a used Tesla from Oaks Automotive Sales to these guys for a pre-purchase inspection. Thank goodness I did. They found all kinds of things wrong with it, including an access panel to the main battery that was glued shut so they couldn't test it! They gave us a thorough explanation of everything wrong plus some free advice about used car buying. I had signed up for an inspection that cost over $300 but they just charged me the minimum $140 since they couldn't do everything. Oh yeah, plus they fit me in on a busy day and had it done before the time they said they would. In short, these guys know their stuff and have a lot of integrity. Highly recommended. Also, take this as a very negative review of Oak Automotive. If you're going to risk buying anything from them, take it to these guys at Ulmer's first for an inspection. They saved us a $12,000 disaster.

When I contacted Ulmer’s, they were very accommodating and upfront about the cost and what needed repaired for my rear brakes. They offered a replacement car while they were working on my car and/or the use of their shuttle. That was a nice perk that I wasn’t expecting. I really appreciate their professional, quality repair of my car!

From the moment I walked in the door they were friendly honest and caring. I expected an expensive repair, what I got was honesty THANK YOU! If I could give 20 stars I would. I truly can't express enough what they did for me and how they made me feel.

We have had a really good experience here at Ulmers, once again. We have been bringing our 4 vehicles to them for over 5 years now. The entire staff is very professional, detail-oriented, and polite. They all go out of their way to make sure that we are satisfied. If you are looking for a trustworthy mechanic, give Ulmers a try. Even if they are across town for you, you won’t be disappointed. I would like to especially recognize Steve, James, Jeremy, John, Wesley, and Luke.

We found a trustworthy auto service location. Diagnosed issues, fixed issues, timely execution, with great options - shuttle service (or loaner available) - we used shuttle.Son goes to school there and this will be our go to auto service (we were given a major run around with the Acura Dealership - they will NEVER see us again!) Note: Prices of everything has gone up … Ulmer’s may feel a little pricey - however, they are not and 100% worth their value. I will inform all of my son’s friends and parents to go to Ulmer’s Uptown).- Lou N

This was not our first experience with Ulmer’s Auto Care at their Anderson Township location. Our friends had been dealing with them for years. Anyway, I was pleasantly greeted as soon as I entered the office and asked about my reason for my visit. I explained my situation: Our vehicle just serviced by Beechmont Toyota, which left me with doubts about that some service points had been listed as in good condition, a specific area of concern ended to be “watched and rechecked at next servicing”. That particular area sounded serious to me, so I stopped at Firestone Auto Care to have them check out what had been described as a problem. Per Firestone there was no “problem” detected in the rear suspension or wheel/brake/tire area, and at this time I saw the “rear end” area of my vehicle. I learned the “rear end” of my vehicle was not what is found on front wheel drive vehicles. There is no drive shaft from the engine to a bell housing axle as in rear wheel drive cars. At this point I opted to take our vehicle to Ulmer’s Auto Care for them to give our vehicle a complete check over. Everyone at Ulmer’s greeted me and listened to “my story and concerns”, and I was able to leave my vehicle immediately for them to perform my requested service. I received a call shortly afterward, was provided with a list of items needing to be repaired/replaced and a total cost. The concern “the rear axle assembly needing to be followed” as described by Beechmont Toyota was not only not needed, there is no such assembly existing on our vehicle. I was explained in detail the repairs needed; some of which were supposedly checked by and reflected as in good working order by Beechmont Toyota; and all could be performed and my vehicle available the same day. There was one condition that was related to after market lowering springs that was tested and retested over two days that was not a problem causing danger, just a nuisance noise situation, but diagnosing this did not result in any additional cost; which was greatly appreciated by us.A convenient and appreciated service also provided by Ulmer’s is courtesy service to pickup customers or drop off of customers by their courtesy van.I can only say that Ulmer’s provided personal services above and beyond what we have experienced with Beechmont Toyota with our current Scion and previous Scion vehicles, or Honda East with our previous vehicle.We will be using Ulmer’s for all our future servicing needs on our Scion XB vehicle.The five star review is the best under this scoring system, but were it possible I would add five more stars to the score. The people are all A++++++ and work the same.
